Need help on what to do next

Hey guys,

I finally had someone take the painted on pinstripe flames off my truck and also the rainguards on top of the windows!!! It actually looks more like a 16 year old car like i wanted other than a 50 year old mans truck lol. What do you guys think I should do next?!? Lift? its 2wd btw. I really want to do more to it... How much would it be to monotone it??? The truck is the same except it doesnt have the pinstripes anymore and also no more rainguards. ill take more pics soon. Oh yea I also got a pioneer d3 and a system in it!

Thanks,
Mike

great lookin truck man. If it were me I would get rid of the chrome door handles. If you got it all painted the same color it would run you anywhere from $300 bucks on up. Start getting more performance. I recomend custom tunes, cai, efans, little things like that. What about a recon 3rd brake light? Or and HID kit. Maybe 5% all the way around. I'm tellin you man all of my FAVORITE mods have been the small ones.

I really like the way it looks the way it is. If you do any off road travels maybe lift/level it with some slightly larger A/T tires. But I think it would look better if it was dropped with nice roll pan on it. Plus everything Jwool said.

I wouldn't lift it since its 2WD. My next thing would be starting to PTM some pieces, door handles, maybe that piece of chrome around the grill. Its hard to say, its a real nice looking truck to begin with. You got any basic bolt on performance stuff?

I'd say lower it because you live in Florida. Nice truck though... glad to see more 4x2's in here.

It has dual flowmasters on it. I wanna change up the tips though and have it exit before the rear tire like the lightnings. I also need to get chip/intake.

Thanks,
Mike

intake/custom tune would be the best mod to do next. you will love your truck 5x more.
